Does anyone know where to go to get honest reviews of the bootcamps out there. I've been working telecomm for the last 15 yrs but only have OC certs. The large majority of jobs I've seen require at least a CCNA. I'm studying the books and taking quizzes, but just don't seem to retain what I need, and don't want to have to take multple tests. I want to try the full emersion method with one of these 7 day camps but am leary of getting ripped off. Trainingcamp looks good and is close to where I live. Does anyone have an opinion or knowledge about this company or know any where I can get an honest review? Thanks.

I have previously done courses/camps through Global Knowledge and they were pretty good. Never heard of trainingcamp so I couldn't tell you about them but by looking at their website I would say they are a decent place. My only issue with it is their site fails to even tell you where are their training locations without filling out a form so their sales staff can hound you. Well, if all else fails google it.
My recommendation is not only look at the quality of how good it is while you are there but what you take away from it as well. Many camps offer an exam voucher included in the cost of the class with several including a re-take. Some include remote lab access so you can experiment after class. Some will include video training on CD's and self-testing software as well. Some simply provide the books and and the class-time so just make sure you are getting the best value for your money as camps are not cheap.
One thing I will point out is that camps are best utilized to fill in the gaps and obtain better clarity on things you struggle with. Given you have been doing self-study for a while I would say a camp might be the thing for you. |

I have also heard that Boson is pretty good. A friend went there. I think that Boson is actually on here.
